Clean-up crews are still digging up the confetti here in the BlueTower following our celebration of Super Bowl Sunday. The tendency to view the past as prologue can often be deceptive, but the parallels to the Giants' 2007/2008 playoff run continued through the final game to a startling degree, down to the key 30+ yard circus catch and the winning score coming with less than one minute left. Just crazy. Congrats to the Pats who continue to live up to their incredible standard of excellence, and of course, congrats to the G-men for another startling run of winning football right when it mattered the most.

He turned a makeshift 0-line, no running game, two untested wide receivers and a rookie tight end into one of the league's elite offenses. And that offense of his took a sub-par defense to the world championship.

Your analysis is the opposite of the reality. He carried that team all season, and he has two rings because he's played his best when it counted most in two different Super Bowls.
